Application filed September 3, 1904:. Renewed November 2, 1905.

Specification of Letters Patent.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GORDON W. BEGOLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Terrets for Harness; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enab e others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in terrets for harnesses and its objects are to provide an im roved method of manufacture, to provide a ight and strong device, to provide a device that may be manufactured in part of sheet metal stamped into shape by dies, and to provide the device with various new and useful features, hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims, reference being had to the accom panying drawings, in whioh- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device embodying my invention; Fig. 2 a vertical section of the same; Fig. 3, a side elevation with one side of the ring removed and the nut in section; Figs. 4 and 5, details of the ring in plardi view; and Fig. 6 a detail of the bolt or stu Like numerals refer to like the figures.

The ring proper is made of two equal parts 1 1, divided in a vertical plane and forming, when assembled, a complete ring, secured together by suitable fastenings or rivets 8, 9, and 10. Projecting outward from one side of this ring'is a suitable extension 2, having a broad base 3 to rest upon the top of the pad, and consisting of an inwardly-turned flange, adapted to surround the bolt 4. and engage a suitable circumferential groove 6 therein. This bolt has a screw-threaded outer end and is provided with a suitable flanged nut 5, and its inner end is provided with a segmental T-head 7, adapted to fit the hollow interior of the ring portions 1. When the parts are assembled and the ring portions properly secured to each other, the stud or bolt 4 is securely attached to the ring by means of this parts in all of head 7, together with the surrounding flange 3, inserted in the groove 6. The hollow sheet-metal ring and lateral extension provide a substantial light and strong structure and are ver rapidly made from sheet metal by means 0 suitable dies, and when the parts are assembled and properly secured the entire structure provides a light, substantial, and. strong device well adapted for the purpose of serving as a terret-ring for a harness.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A hollow terret-ring composed of two parts of stamped sheet metal provided with lateral extensions, a stud having a segmental T-head inserted in the ring said stud being surrounded and engaged by said extensions, and means for securing the parts of the ring to each other.

2. The combination of a ring composed of two hollow sheet-metal sections having lateral extensions and inwardly-turned flanges, and a screw-threaded stud having a segmental T-head inserted in the hollow ring and a groove engaged by the flanges.

3. The combination of a stud having a segmental T-head, a divided hollow ring inclosing the T-head, and also having a lateral extension and inwardly-turned flanges surrounding the stud, and means for securing the parts of the ring to each other.

4. The combination of a hollow ring consisting of two equal stamped sheet-metal portions, each portion having a lateral extension provided wth a base consisting of an inwardly-turned flange, a screw-threaded stud having a segmental T-head located within the ring and groove engaged by the flanges, and rivets ex tending through the ring to secure the parts in place.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

GORDON W. BEGOLE.
